Canada is well on track to meeting the target of welcoming 401,000 new Canadian permanent residents in 2021, a majority of which are to acquire Canada PR through economic immigration that includes IRCC Express Entry. Canada has a significant reliance on immigration for addressing the gap in the Canadian labour market. As per official reports, the Canadian government will continue to accelerate the pace of landing new permanent residents in the country.
Previously, the last time in history that Canada welcomed 400,000+ in 1 year was in the early 1900s. Currently, the record stands at 401,000 immigrants welcomed in 1913.
  As per the Immigration Levels Plan 2021-2023, Canada will be welcoming over 4 lakh immigrants a year. For 2021, the target stands at 401,000. Another 411,000 are to be welcomed in 2022. The target for 2023 stands at 421,000. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual immigration target had been put down at 351,000 for 2021. Due to international travel restrictions as well as service limitations and disruptions globally, the target could not be met and was accordingly re-adjusted in the next Plan announced. The levels of newcomers welcomed in June-July 2021 are comparatively higher and among the highest monthly totals in the history of Canada. Canada is indeed catching-up in an attempt at achieving the target for the year. To achieve the annual target, IRCC will be required to land an additional 217,000 newcomers in Canada during the remaining year. An average of 43,400 per month will have to be welcomed in the remaining 5 months of 2021. Before the pandemic, Canada averaged welcoming 25,000 to 35,000 new immigrants a year. While securing 43,400 monthly might be a challenge, it can nonetheless be done. Several contributing factors will come together for IRCC to either achieve the goal, or come as close as possible to it by 2021-end. Many with their Confirmation of Permanent Residence [COPR] will now be able to land in Canada following the easing of travel restrictions. Anyone newly approved by IRCC for permanent residence in Canada can also now move to Canada. Six new temporary to permanent resident streams launched by the Candian government in May 2021 will enable around 90,000 essential workers and international graduates living in Canada to take up permanent residence. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATED Canada Skilled Immigration Points Calculator ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are looking to Work, Study, Invest, Visit, or Migrate to Canada, talk to Y-Axis, the World’s No. 1 Immigration & Visa Company.
